An Asian market will be moving into the former Winn-Dixie in the Coytown Shopping Center on the corner of Colonial Drive and Bumby Avenue [GMap].

Another one!? U0001f44e Such a waste of a great location that could Really use some other kind of business. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, World Market, just to name a few but I’d take anything other than another Asian market. There’s already 10+ within that block. Bah Humbug! Ronald Morelli

it it were to house a multi vendor food court/MultiCultural Market like the ones they have in Atlanta/Decatur, it’d be great. But to have just another run of the mill Asian market would be such a disappointment.

Decent parking will be a plus. The only other two large Asian Markets on that side of E Colonial aren’t exactly the best when it comes to fresh foods unfortunately. I have seen moldy fruits and veggies, and other items with expired dates on them. They also don’t smell very good and that was a comment made by my Asian friend who doesn’t care much for those two markets either. The only one I know of that is well kept is the East Side market on the other end of E Colonial going towards Alafaya.
